How to Handle a Queasy Stomach. There is nothing worse than a queasy stomach, that unsettling feeling in the pit of your gut which makes you feel a revulsion towards food. Many women suffer from this during pregnancy. While there is no panacea, there are several things one can try, to help handle a queasy stomach.

Sit or lay down. Laying down is preferable because your queasy stomach will be lying flat. But if you aren't in a place where you can rest on your back, sitting is the next best thing. Take time out from your day and just rest for a minute. Sometimes the queasiness will pass.

Go to the bathroom. While this may seem a bit foul, sometimes gastro problems that feel as if they are occurring in your stomach are actually originating from somewhere else. Take a moment to go to the bathroom and see if your body is ready to be rid of something.

Take medicine. Mylanta, Pepto Bismol and Tums are all brands of antacids which might help settle your queasy stomach. These can be purchased at any pharmacy, grocery store and even some gas stations. Take the medicine as directed and wait a few minutes to see how you feel.

Drink fluids. This is where many of the old wives tales come into play. Also if you are suffering from morning sickness, these remedies might help as well. Drinking some flat Coke, flat ginger ale or regular club soda can help. Others suggest that you eat (if you can) a small piece of bread or a few Saltine crackers. Others still suggest sucking on a lemon. The point to all of these possible remedies is that they are trial and error and specific to each individual.

Tip

Consult your physician. If you are feeling pain in your abdomen or the queasiness will not subside within a reasonable amount of time, go to the doctor. Also if you have any bleeding while vomiting or blood in your stool, see your doctor immediately. The suggestions listed in the article are meant for a queasy stomach and should in no way be interpreted as a cure for more serious illnesses. If you have any doubt in your mind, get to the doctor!
